The Israeli, who competes in the weight category up to 60 kg, met in the opening round the Syrian - who competes these days in the refugee team, when the Israeli twice scored Vasari and achieved the first victory.
But his opponent didn't like the loss so much, or maybe the person standing in front of him, and decided to quickly get off the mat in protest without shaking his opponent's hand as is customary.
